Fox’s Murdoch Received $100 Million Loan from Chinese Bank Before Tucker Carlson’s Departure: Report

The unexpected departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News has prompted inquiries about the network’s connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Speculation surrounds a $100 million loan taken by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, founder of Fox News, from the CCP-controlled Bank of China last year, according to a report from National File.

The loan was part of a larger credit agreement totaling $1.25 billion and has been linked to a noticeable shift in the network’s coverage.

On March 29, 2022, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp conglomerate secured a substantial credit agreement, which included loans from several banks.

Among them was the Bank of China, a CCP-run financial institution, which contributed $100 million to the deal.

Other American banks were also involved in the transaction.

While the loan agreement was made under News Corp, it is important to note the distinction between that organization and Fox Corp, which owns Fox News. Nevertheless, Murdoch is a board member at both media companies, as he is the Executive Chairman of News Corp and Co-Chairman of Fox Corp.

Prior to his departure from Fox News, Tucker Carlson held a strong stance against Communist China, National File notes.

His show consistently attracted a larger audience than any other program on the network.

Carlson was one of the few cable news hosts willing to discuss the relationship between COVID-19 and the Chinese regime, as well as the United States government’s involvement in operating biolabs within Communist China.
